From about 1928-36, the building's main occupant (in its western storefront at 107A - 7 Ave W) was the Army and Navy Store, (not the Army and Navy retail chain). The second storefront originally housed the Bee Hive Store, a knitting, yarn, & "notions" shop founded as Greig's Ltd.

From 1900 to 1914, this block transformed from a lightly developed residential block to a bustling commercial centre.
7 Ave declined as a shopping district when 8 Ave became the Stephen Avenue pedestrian mall (1969-70) and 7 Ave became an LRT corridor (1980-81).

Ornamentation was modest, in keeping with the time. The building facade has three bays reflected in the upper parapet, containing three recessed panels. The storefront has a recessed entrance, large display widows with clerestory glazing above and bulkhead at the base.
